It’s actually impressive to me how the West and its satellites are able to so impressively compartmentalize their propagandistic narratives in the service of war and imperialism, even digging up shit like this when “hindsight” is supposed to be a thing. It’s not like this ended in any case. They will support Chechen freedom fighters against RuZZian orcs one day while also emphasizing Israel as a bulwark against radical Islamic hordes the next.
Speaking of, my first exposure to Hasan is when he got that TYT show, and debated Cenk about capitalism, and then it immediately got canned, because he said 'America deserved 9/11’.
They trotted him out to apologize and basically publicly humiliate him in the process.
But now that Hasan has gotten so big, on his own, I think you can tell Cenk is super fucking insecure about it, and it’s so fucking funny
